Now. The doors opened at 7am and you can vote right up until 10pm tonight.

Where do I vote?

That obviously depends on where you live and you want to dig out that white card that dropped through your letter box a few months back. Lost it? Burned it? Threw it away? Well you can always stick your postcode in here and find out your local station. There are 501 of them across Glasgow.

That's entirely up to you, but for most the choice is simple. You'll have two papers, one where you vote for a candidate to represent your constituency, the other a regional ballot where you vote for a party or independent candidate to represent your region. Just stick an X in the box next to whoever gets your vote. So two papers, two crosses - simple. Unless you live in Anderston.

What's happening there?

A by-election. People living in Anderston/City Ward 10 will be given a third ballot paper.

I've made a mistake.

Don't panic. Ask the polling staff and they'll give you another ballot paper.

Any dos or don'ts?

I am glad you asked. You'll see signs up politely stating 'no photography.' Basically you must protect the secrecy of the ballot and that includes taking images that reveal your own ballot paper's unique identification number. You could land yourself a £5000 fine or six months in prison if you do reveal how someone else voted. Staff are most likely to ask you to delete the image before looking for police asssitance. Political clothing and rosettes are also no-nos. You can wear that Scottish Resistance t-shirt tomorrow.

That's understandable. The traditional way of showing your disdain for the candidates on offer is writing: 'None of the above' on your paper. These votes will be included in the overall turnout.

Where does the count take place?

A total of 1002 ballot boxes and 112 postal ballot boxes will be delivered to the Emirates Arena in the East End. The Returning Officer there is Annemarie O’Donnell, Glasgow City Council’s Chief Executive

And what about any last minute hiccoughs?

Recounts are at the Returning Officer’s discretion and the results are double-checked by computers before the final and official declared result.
